“Governing a great nation is like cooking a fish - too much handling will spoil it.” - Lao Tzu

We are beginning to experience warm days of Summer in Melbourne, alternating with milder weather. As for the next two days the temperature maxima will go above 30˚C, simple easy food that is tasty and light is indicated. This dish foots the bill perfectly!


BAKED SALMON WITH DILL

Ingredients
500 g salmon fillets
1/3 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon dried dill tips
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
Preheat oven to 180˚ C. 
Mix the oil and lemon juice in a bowl and place the salmon pieces in the mixture, coating well on all sides.
Place salmon in the oiled baking dish, and drizzle the remaining oil/lemon mixture from your bowl over the salmon.
Season with dill, sea salt, and pepper.
Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.

    1. Because half our family don't eat meat but will eat fish, we too have baked salmon often. Usually on a Friday night when all the generations eat together.

      Delicious!
